Popis: Davidson’s method is widely used for finding the lowest eigenvalues of large matrices. Recently, mathematicians have shown that Davidson’s derivation could be improved. They have corrected the derivation yielding a new iteration method. In this article this new method is adapted for realistic MRCI and MRCEPA calculations. Results show that the new method converges sigruficantly faster in H,O and 0, with moderately elongated bonds than Davidson’s original method. The new method offers new insights into the rate of convergence of Davidson’s original method. 0 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
